The old sink has three holes, with the two outer ones six inches apart. The new faucets seem to be designed for outside holes that are 8 inches apart. It would be very difficult to drill through the cast iron and porcelain. Porcelain sinks like that aren't available anymore, and it is very nice so I want to keep it.

If there's a plumbing supply place in your area, you might check there. They may be able to special order you a faucet to fit your sink. Otherwise Chicago Faucet makes a universal fit faucet for oddball applications, but that brand of faucet is typically for industrial or commercial uses so be aware that it might look like the faucet out of a public restroom if you decide to go that route.

Try a faucet that uses only 1 hole, for the base, with a pullout spray head. Then you can be creative and install a soap dispenser, filter spigot, hot water dispenser, or something that you like. Good luck

Locally people use a place called Restoration Hardware. I think they are a chain, but I'm not sure.
Additionally you might try eBay. You really can find anything there.
